The government is emphasizing project execution, transparency and measurable economic outcomes to ensure that investments translate into real gains such as durable assets, private-sector participation and productivity improvements rather than mere higher budgetary allocations, the people said. To this extent, greater due diligence and closer scrutiny of projects are now central to improving execution.
